Wishing everyone a happy New Year! Although I haven't been active on the
list lately, I've been working on CinePaint behind the scenes. Here's a
plan for 2010.
CinePaint 2010
1. Revamp website. Software changes to make it easier for me to post
news more frequently. Probably Drupal with Postgres.
2. Revamp CVS. Although there are good arguments for other systems such
as Subversion, the pros don't outweigh the cons of making developers
(especially me) learn a new system. I plan to divide the code into
smaller modules to make it easier to handle.
3. Ravamp build. Build CinePaint using C++ without autotools. The GNU
autotools autoconf-automake-configure-make system has always been a
thorn in CinePaint's side because it makes one QA cycle to do a full
rebuild take hours.
4. Linux, Mac and Windows releases. We've been stuck getting out a
release for reasons of build management and QA. The Mac and Linux
releases have been held back by build issues. That's being resolved. The
Windows version was derailed by issues related to how we use GTK. There
are a couple ways to resolve that, and it will require me doing some
work. I'm keen to get the Windows version because I work fastest when
debugging in Visual C++.
5. Revamp architecture. Make brushes into plugins. Load plugins as DLLs
on all platforms, not spawn processes. Use ASCII strings instead of
variargs in Wire Protocol. Start using more C++ in code, but no STL
please. Make Java a supported scripting language. Release img_img
command line tool.
6. Revamp QA. Create a strong QA system with unit tests and more
thorough user testing.
Anyone who wishes to volunteer to add something useful to the CinePaint
project is, of course, welcome.

CinePaint Glasgow is the next generation of CinePaint technology.
CinePaint Film Gimp is a popular deep paint program used mainly in film
industry for frame-by-frame image retouching (Cineon, DPX, OpenEXR,
TIFF, JPEG, etc.).
This is a technology evaluation release for developers and others
interested to see where Glasgow is at. Basically, it proves that Glasgow
exists and encourages developers to participate more.
Changes in the 0.2 Release 2006.12.31
1. FIXED: Programs wouldn't launch due to issues with redist dll files
2. FIXED: Programs would crash on dual-head display due to bug in FLTK 1.1.7
3. Better diagnostic messages in CinePaint console window
4. Plug-ins moved to plug-ins subdirectory

What's Glasgow
CinePaint Glasgow is the next generation of CinePaint technology.
CinePaint Film Gimp is a popular deep paint program used mainly in film
industry for frame-by-frame image retouching (Cineon, DPX, OpenEXR,
TIFF, JPEG, etc.).
What's in the 0.1 Release
This is a technology evaluation release for developers and others
interested to see where Glasgow is at. Basically, it proves that Glasgow
exists and encourages developers to participate more. Expect lots of
breakage and incompleteness. CineCalc, Mickey and synch are somewhat
usable. CineBrush will draw but not open files (broken). Glasgow will
open JPEG and TIFF files but not paint (broken). Yage will paint but not
open files (broken).
CineBrush - FLTK 8-bit image editor
CineCalc - FLTK RPN calculator
Glasgow - FLTK deep paint image editor
Mickey - FLTK hex editor
Synch - A clock sync tool that uses a website to
set local PC clock
usage: 'synch [some_web_site.com]'
The default website if none is specified is google.com.
Test Images - JPEG and TIFF images
Yage - FLTK gradient editor
Platforms
These programs have been compiled for Windows XP. They are designed to
be portable to Linux and Mac OS X (native Aqua, not X11), but haven't
been built on those platforms yet.
Copyright and License
These are open source GPL, MPL, or BSD licensed, depending on the
source. Each program's source code should contain full info. Software is
provided as-is without warranty.
Source Code Available in CVS at SourceForge

CinePaint Glasgow 0.1 is in CVS. FYI, here's a new screenshot on the
home page.
http://CinePaint.org
Version 0.1 is for developers. Not ready for users yet. Lots of stuff
broken or missing. Anyone who wants to try to build from CVS please do.
It opens TIFF and JPEG files and that's about it for now. None of the
toolbar tools work, probably due to a problem with how image memory is
passed around. I fixed a memory passing problem like that for file
plug-ins, but haven't debugged image op tools.
I've only built on Windows. Does someone want to build on Linux and Mac?
Happy holidays,
Robin
